The English media should have to watch all the matches in a pub in the centre of Glasgow. That'll sort out the fans from the bastards who just want something negative to write about.
 
I was talking about the banking and support they get. They get criticised left right and centre.

You mentioned fans not wanting Capello which is fair enough beforehand but once appointed? Ridiculous that he was still criticised by fans

I would say that Eriksson in 2006 got a reasonable run but realistically you are right.respect and backing never happens.

Sir Bobby Robson Gave them all two fingers and England did better in 1990. I think since then in my experience it got a lot worse like turnip taylor so you are right.

Maybe Venables got a decent run in 1996 and huddle til after 1998 world cup when press turned on him to get him the sack.

Usually it's not even fans so much as the rags.

The result of hodfle was who? MccLaren and England fail to qualify?

And the manager can never win. When was the last time a England manager was appointed and given a chance?

There are always fans criticising them, they are never good enough
Agreeing with yourself?
The problem is that too many people desperately want England to be better than they are, and they consider it a personal affront when the team fails to live up to their expectations. This has gone on so long now that they start getting the boot in early so as to avoid disappointment.
At a club level we see something similar when many fans consistently predict a doom-laden scenario for us.
 
All eleven singing the national anthem? <yikes>

I suspect that'll be the Southgate influence
 
Imo tonight Henderson will be scapegoat and there's 4 forwards ahead of him and 5 defenders behind him abdvhe will get no help at all with 2 or even 3 opponents
